Introdução:
G
G
You said you'd go just for a year and I watched the taillights disappear
Am G
Your words like old footprints upon my mind
G
Yeah your family all was gone, but you couldn't imagine leavin' long
Am G
I said you only get your life for this one time
F C F C
But what do I recall when the world is all but changin'
F C D
In the mirror while I'm standin' like an old stop sign
G
Have courage, said the man, when you see your whole life turnin' out
Am G
Nothin' like you'd ever seen or planned
G
He said there's always another day, and anyhow that's the only way
Am G
It's better just to learn that while you can
F C F C
Well would she stay or would she go, with a girl like that you never know
F C D
What's goin' on in her heart is hard to define
F C
But I'm inclined to say
G D G
Virginia guess you made up your mind
INTRO
G
Well you taught me how to dance and what it is to take a chance
Am G
There's learnin' and there's doin', it's not the same
G
Yeah I held you when you cried on the mornin' that your daddy died
Am G
If you're livin', you hurt, there's no one to blame
F C F C
Yeah and hell I do alright, but there's times that I can't sleep at night
F C D
And I think about things I didn't know would stay with me all this time
Chorus
G Am G Am G
F C F C
Yeah years go by and you don't come home at all
F C D
Or write or call or tell me what you did or didn't find
G
Yeah the young girl that I married and the babies that she carred
Am G
Are the stars that my whole world turns around
G
And I guess she's just like me, and she didn't care too much to see
Am G
What life was like outside our little town
F C F C
Yeah mornin's, there are some, where I wonder if I've chosen
F C G
Anything that I've ever done before in my whole life
F C
But that's all behind me now
G D
Virginia guess you made up
F C
I'm inclined to say
G D
Virginia guess you made up
F C
I don't mind to see
G D G
Virginia guess you made up your mind
INTRO out
